Doctor Who Vid: When I Was A Boy [Amy, Amy/Rory]

[beccatoria]

I originally planned to post this today in order to get it out there ahead of the new series premiere, but it feels wrong and conspicuous to do so, now, without mentioning Elisabeth Sladen. This is not a vid about Sarah Jane, but it is a vid about a show that would have been much lesser without Elisabeth Sladen. The universe, both fictional and real, is a worse place without her in it.

Title: When I Was A Boy
Video: Doctor Who

even those privileged by them – those who are cisgendered and heterosexual, as the song’s protagonists may be, are more harmed than helped by the restrictions imposed on the ways they are allowed to be children, to be boys or girls

Very much agreed! (I do love Dar, in all her earnest glory.)

And yes, the more I think about it, the more I think this song really is perfect for Amy, and for the whole ambiance of series 5: faith in the power of memory and imagination and all that.
